Steve, that 10ft Roamer looks like it could be the winner for me!!! Its a better looking shape than the Summer Breeze, with fully curved rocker....
Very nice!! Thats more like what Im after. Thanks. Any other designs out there? I will wait until tomorrow morning to make the build decision....
I can see its a slippery design. 2 faults with it tho:- 1- its too narrow. I want a very stable boat. 2- its too expensive! I am a Scot...
I have the boats for him to grow into already. This just has to be a cute small boat that he can see is purely for him. Ie - fat dad wont be able...
